Isolation and functional characterization of hemoglobin Casper: beta106(G8) Leu replaced by Pro. 1975

H Wajcman, and G Gacon, and D Labie, and R D Koler, and R T Jones

Hemoglobin Casper (beta106Leu replaced by Pro) can be separated from hemoglobin (Hb) A by isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gel. This abnormal hemoglobin was estimated to be 30% of teh total by both isoelectric focusing and heat lability kinetics. Its oxygen equilibrium curves indicate a high oxygen affinity, low degree of subunit interaction, and a decreased Bohr effect. Mixtures of Hb Casper and Hb A appear to bind oxygen as if no hybrid molecules exist.
